[Quietly]

I would like the echo the improvements to magic site searching ... I think it wouldn't necessarily be too cpu intensive to keep a better list of targets.

I also wish there was a "Move and Search (for magical sites)" (monthly repeatable) option for commanders. Logic like:

searchvalue = [ ((commanderskill in fire {max 4} ) - (currently searched in fire {max 4}) + ((cskill in water {max 4}) - (currently searched in water {max 4}) + ... ]

Every turn: check search value in current province, if non-0 then search. If 0, check the search values of all provinces owned by the empire within 1 movement turn, and move to the one with the highest (non-0) searchvalue. Else, (depending on how complex you want it to be) either just switch to defend, or check the set of owned provinces within 2 moves and so on.

I'd also like to echo, monthly forge item.

Also: repeat recruiting of commanders? I suspect there is some serious design philosophy behind the descision not to allow this sort of queueing, automation, yet this is an "I wish" thread. And I do wish I could tell my province with sages to keep recruiting sages until I say stop. For that matter I wish I could tell the sages to immediately default to researching, but, well, que sera, sera.
